the movie is outstanding except the part how he has not been moved into another cell in many years, nor how with all the rigorous searches a giant hole in the wall was never discovered either

In the novella it explains that because of everything Andy does for the warden and guards, he got special privileges and wasn’t ridden as hard as others.

It wasn't directly stated in the movie but at one point the warden refers to Andy's cell as a 1 bunk Hilton as well as some of the other special treatment he got.

King says it’s a novella. The book is Different Seasons. The novella wasn’t published on its own until about two decades after Different Seasons.
